Richardson Hitchins mentioned tonight that Teofimo Lopez didn’t ship him a suggestion. He reiterated that he desires Lopez to ship the contract with the “right zeros” in it.
The unification match in opposition to IBF gentle welterweight champion Hitchins (19-0, 7 KOs) is meant to be the primary of the three-fight deal for WBO 140-lb champion Teofimo with Turki Al-Sheikh. The opposite two are in opposition to Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis in October and the loser or winner of the Ryan Garcia vs. Devin Haney 2 rematch.
Is Teo Backing Down?
May it’s that Teofimo desires to take a better struggle than Richardson for his first of the three-fight contract with Al-Sheikh? Would he be keen to let Lopez take a scrub to make sure he doesn’t get off on the fallacious foot with a loss? Turki normally expects fighters on his playing cards to struggle high quality opponents; I don’t suppose he can be up for the concept of Teo dealing with one other Steve Claggett.
“Teofimo, I don’t know about all that bull s*** and all that talk on the Internet, talking about how you got $1.3 or $1.5 for whatever fight. I don’t give a f*** about none of that. What are you talking about?” mentioned Richardson Hitchins on social media, reacting to Teofimo Lopez telling him to just accept the provide that was despatched to him.
“Pay attention, you turned down a suggestion from Devin Haney. You turned down a $2.8 million provide for Subriel Matias. You by no means seen $2.8 million. You speaking about Subriel Matias ain’t ok to struggle you. Who the f*** is you? On pay-per-view, you’ll have left with $3 million.
“You’re the only one ducking. Ain’t no offer been sent to me. Like I said. Send the contender. If the numbers are right and the date and the time, I’m there. Ain’t no excuses, and your dad is in the background talking all that s***.”
No Contract, No Braveness?
It feels like Teo is getting chilly toes and is having second ideas about taking the struggle with Hithchins. That is related conduct to how Lopez acted with Subriel Matias and Devin Haney. It’s unusual how Teofimo says that he desires to struggle these guys, however after they try and get a conflict made, he turns them down.
If Teofimo received’t struggle Hitchins, he’ll need to face the winner of the WBO title eliminator between Jack Catterall and Arnold Barboza Jr., which might be a struggle for Teo’s belt. It’s uncertain that Teofimo would need to struggle a unification bout with WBA champion Jose ‘Rayo’ Valenzuela or WBC champ Alberto Puello as a result of these can be tough fights that he might lose.
“Cease saying my title. Cease happening the Web, speaking all that s***. Richardson Hitchinson is the one title at 140 proper now that is smart. So, like I mentioned, after they ship that provide, make sure that it’s the precise zeros, and I’m there. That’s all I acquired to say.
“I never ducked no smoke. Ain’t no contract or nothing has been sent to me. What are you talking about?” mentioned Hitchins to Teofimo.
